Paris Saint-Germain won an initial legal battle with UEFA Tuesday over the monitoring of their spending on player transfers and wages, and sponsorship deals linked to the club's Qatari owner.

The appeal judgment from CAS related to UEFA's club finance monitoring panel wanting to review its own decision that declared PSG's accounts through June 2017 compliant with "Financial Fair Play" rules.

PSG's victory was expected after Turkish club Galatasaray won a similar ruling against UEFA last month.

Since being bought by its Qatari owners in 2011, PSG has been suspected of using overvalued sponsor deals from the gas-rich emirate to balance its accounts and comply with UEFA rules.
